Very good to learn thank you, and I admired how you spoke regularly with Mr Williams and reassured him and let him know step by step what you were doing.
Love this video, I'ts the only one that I have found that reflects best practice in both manual handling techniques and use of the slide sheet. I used this video in my Manual handling class today. A job well done Melissa and Angela.
Because if they just roll him on his side as they did in first movement he'll be on the edge of the bed and may fall out. So they need to slide him into the middle so he wont fall off the bed when the on his side. You often need to reposition patients/clients with low mobility because if they stay in the same position they can suffer tissue damage and just generally sore muscles (blood flow blocked with long periods in same position).
